8 Simple Tips For Selling Your Houston Texas Home Faster

October 1st, 2015



By Kim Buish 

You just bought a new Houston Texas Home and to avoid having to pay two mortgages you’re searching for ways to sell your home fast.

In this post we will share with you 8 quick and easy ways for you to sell your Houston Texas Real Estate faster than you thought possible.

Tip #1 – De-Clutter Your Houston Texas Home

The truth about Real Estate in 2015 is that a home that’s been decluttered sells faster than a home that’s being listed “as is”.

When decluttering a home focus on packing up items you haven’t used in at least 3 months and place those boxes in a temporary storage unit.

Tip #2 – Remove Odors from Your Home

Invite a group of friends and family members over to your home to smell each room in your Houston Texas Home to determine if it has an odor or not.

Rooms that have specific odors like pet or carpet odors should be dealt with immediately because those smells will only be very obvious to buyers when they arrive.

Tip #3 – Update The Bedding In Each Rom

Another great way to make your Houston Texas Real Estate look more stylish and upgraded is to change your bedding because, buying a new bed set is an inexpensive way to upgrade a bedroom without having to spend thousands of dollars.

Tip #4 – Take Care Of Routine Maintenance Now

Take the time to complete all routine maintenance checks for your home like having your heater and air conditioner serviced because, getting these things done now will help your Houston Texas Home to sell faster since a home inspector won’t find problems and bring these issues to your attention later on.

Tip #5 – Clean Out The Basement and Garage

One of the biggest things you can do to help your Houston Texas Home sell fast is to clean out your basement and garage now because, this will mean less work for you later on and a buyer will be impressed with the space that those areas of your home offers them.

Tip #6 – Invest In Mirrors

Another clever way to make your home feel bigger is to invest in mirrors for each room of your home because mirrors can make a room feel brighter and more cheerful plus bigger as well.

Tip #7 – Clean Up Your Patio Furniture

If your Houston Texas Home has a nice sized patio you should showcase your patio furniture because the patio furniture is a reminder that your patio is a useable space that will be perfect for fun during the spring and summer months.

Tip #8 – Remember Your Schedule

Last of all, but most important, while your home is for sale you should establish a schedule with your Realtor® just so they know the best days and times for when they can show your home because, life can get complicated while your home is for sale and you don’t want to give your agent approval for when they can bring buyers over if you’re not ready to show your home.
